thanks joe for your suggestion. I have been trying to install oscar 5.1b2 on CentOS 5.4. After getting the GUI it fails to install in Step 3 as it can not install certain php-comon rpms and other opkg-*-server rpms. I tried to manual install them but it was missing 1 dependancy per server file. I have it configured to use the centos mirror to get its repos but it fails.
i have run this using OSCAR_VERBOSE=5 to show you where the problem happens. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ---> Package php-gd.x86_64 0:5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 set to be updated Checking deps for php-gd.x86_64 0-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 -
